An engine control system for a vehicle comprises a pump control module and a heating request determination module. The pump control module disengages a switchable water pump from an engine upon startup of the engine. The heating request determination module generates a heat request signal that indicates whether heating of a passenger cabin of the vehicle has been requested based on ambient air temperature, humidity of ambient air, and a status of an air conditioner clutch. The pump control module selectively engages the switchable water pump after the heat request signal is generated.
